There isn't a religion I consider to be the worst. I think the worst would be an extremist of any religion.

The bible refers to all false religion as "Babylon the Great". There is only one truth, so ALL other distortions of it are the worst. There is not one "brand" that is worse than another. Jesus said that we're either with him or against him, so every religion that teaches at least one thing false is as bad as one that is totally false!
Jo-E, I think you've got mormons confused with scientologists!

There is neither a "worst" nor a "best" religion. All contemporary religions hold similar beliefs. We believe in the following: "All major religions carry the same messages. Messages of love, compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, contentment and self-discipline. All have these same values." As long as the person follows his/her beliefs truly and not just "mouthing" the words, it is the best religion for that person.
Trying to proclaim one religion better than another is proselytizing-- a concept abhorant in my belief in Buddhism. We Buddhists adhere to the following admonition:
"Suppose... you try to convert someone from another religion to the Buddhist religion, and you argue with them trying to convince them of the inferiority of their position. And suppose you do not succeed, suppose they do not become Buddhist. On the one hand, you have failed in your task, and on the other hand, you may have weakened the trust they have in their own religion, so that they may come to doubt their own faith. What have you accomplished by all this? It is of no use. When we come into contact with the followers of different religions, we should not argue. Instead, we should advise them to follow their own beliefs as sincerely and as truthfully as possible. For if they do so, they will no doubt reap certain benefits. Of this there is no doubt. Even in the immediate future, they will be able to achieve more happiness and more satisfaction.
...When I meet the followers of different religions, I always praise them, for it is enough, it is sufficient, that they are following the moral teachings that are emphasized in every religion. It is enough, as I mentioned earlier, that they are trying to become better human beings. This in itself is very good and worthy of praise."

May all be at peace.

I say its Islam for the worst religion
because if youre a muslim you have to submit yourself to the will of Allah and for doing so youll have to sacrifice or even worse kill for the sake of religion.
That I say is violence...
